CONTAINER D. P. ANscHlcKs Filed April 15, 1949 Aug. 7, 195] Patented Aug. 7, 1951 UNITED STATES PATENT oEFlcE l l 2,563,508 l CONTAINER David Paul Anschicks, Chicago, Ill., assignor to The Protectoseal Company, Chicago, Ill., a corporation of Illinois Application April 15, 1949, Serial No. 87,591

My invention belongs to that general class of devices known as receptacles or containers, and relates particularly to a container for the storing, handling or transporting of corrosive materials and which will not be subject to leakage, shocks and breakage.

The invention has among its objects the` production of an efcient container of the kind described which is inexpensive, and generally not subject to injury or breakage when accidentally dropped or knocked into other articles during handling, storing or transporting, and which may be attractively flnished.

It has particularly as an object the production of an article of the kind described which is substantially inexpensive to manufacture, and is a safety device or container for the handling and use of acid or like corrosive liquids. Serious injury often occurs from acid or like burns to those handling such materials, and my device is designed to prevent accidents resulting from failure of containers or careless handling.

Many other objects and advantages of the construction herein shown and described Will be obvious to those skilled in the art from the disclosures herein given.

To this end my invention consists in the novel construction, arrangement and combination of parts herein shown and described, and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings, wherein like reference characters indicate like or corresponding parts:

Fig. l is a partial elevation and sectional view of an embodiment of the invention; and

Fig. 2 is a View in elevation taken substantially on line 2 2 of Fig. 1 with a portion broken away to show the construction.

As shown, I represents a glass bottle of the desired size and shape, provided with a neck 2 to which a closure 3 may be applied. As illustrated, the closure 3 is internally threaded to engage the threaded bottle neck and is provided with a gasket 4 of material that will resist deterioration when the contents of the bottle comes in. contact with the same.

Arranged over the bottle is a covering 5, about the sides of the bottle and at E, at the bottom of the bottle, this covering being a suitable resilient material-preierably sponge rubber. It is generally desired to provide a coating or layer of adhesive or cement 'l between the cover 5 and the bottle. It is immaterial how the rubber is arranged on and about the bottle, but in the preferred construction it is molded substantially to fit the bottle with the bottom end open. The botsclaims. (c1. 21S-1 2) tle may then be readily inserted in the closure or cover 5 and the end closure 6 placed at the bottom to close theend. It will be noted that the covering 6 at thebottom is of increased thicklness so that in case-the bottle is dropped, thev I may place a metal'shell or cover over the rubber instead of using a plastic coating.

To provide a convenient means of carrying theA bottle, a handle bail `llis provided which: engages" in themembers l0 "embeddedin the plastic, as shown, members Ill` being provided with openings l I so that the plastic joining the material at both sides of the plates l0 rmly secures the plates l0 in place. Any other means for securing the bail to the container may be employed depending on the covering material, that shown being rather simple and inexpensive when plastics are used.

After the plastic 8 has been applied and has set, the container is given a coating of paint or enamel of a desired color, generally red, which not only adds to the attractive appearance of the container, but also in a Way protects the plastic.

While I prefer to use a glass bottle and enclose the same as described, it is obvious that any other material for the inner container or bottle that is resistant to corrosion may be employed. In the past, acids and corrosive liquids have frequently been carried or transported in metal pails provided with a rubber or other lining, or even in metal containers provided with a suitable acidproof coating.

With my container, the same may be safely and conveniently carried without danger of splashing the contents, may be stored without removing the contents, and should it be dropped when being transported, the danger of injury to the container with resultant leakage of the corrosive contents is in the great majority of cases prevented. As to the particular resilient cover, While I have mentioned sponge rubber, any equally resilient material may be employed, and as to the plastic, any plastic may be used which is substantially tough and will properly set and seal the rubber, preferably a plastic that is tough but not brittle and which will be resistant to corrosive materials.

Having thus described my invention, it is obvious that Various immaterial modications may be made in the same without departing from the spirit of my invention; hence, I do not wish to be understood as limiting myself to the exact form, construction, arrangement and combination of parts herein shown and described, or uses mentioned.

What L claim. asl newv and desire to secure by Letters Batentis:

l. In a safety container for storing, handling tion, a glass bottle, a sponge rubber cover completely enclosing the same,'and `a plastic outer covering bonded to and enclosing; the sponge; rubber.

2. In a safety container for storing, handling overcoating plastic being substantially tough and hard after setting and resistant to shocks without cracking.

5.
